A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

In practice this just means that your documented cause will be fabricated.

It doesn't really need to be fabricated. It's stupid easy to build a case to legitimately fire anyone.

Not really. I used to work in management for a major outdoors retail chain and we had employees we desperately wanted to fire because they were lazy and toxic rowards other staff and customers, but since they showed up on time and in uniform corporate wouldn't let us do it because they didn't want to pay unemployment.

Being toxic to customers is probably counter indicated in the employee handbook, especially for a retail chain.

Your management could have written them up for it 3 times then fired them, but they couldn't be bothered to do the paperwork.
